The Great Gatsby musical releases rehearsal photos ahead of West End premiere

The cast of The Great Gatsby are busy in rehearsals – and you can have a sneak peek!

Based on F Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel about a self-made millionaire and his quest for the American Dream (in the arms of the married woman living across the bay), the show is also running on Broadway.

The Great Gatsby features a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones), an original score by Tony Award nominees Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square), and direction by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical). You can read our exclusive interview with Bruni here.

Primed to lead the show in the West End is Jamie Muscato, taking on the role of Jay Gatsby. Joining him as Daisy Buchanan will be Frances Mayli McCann.

Corbin Bleu will make his London theatre debut as Nick Carraway, alongside Amber Davies as Jordan Baker, Joel Montague as George Wilson, John Owen-Jones as Meyer Wolfsheim, Jon Robyns as Tom Buchanan and Rachel Tucker as Myrtle Wilson.
